Indeed !

Proxy references are locked on materialization of the real object, i.e. the
object will only be locked when you try and access it. That seems reasonable
to me.

Proxy collections, however, *are* materialized and locked when the object
owning the collection is locked.

This is going to be a problem to me too. [see

and the rest of the thread]

Thomas proposed a flag that would disable implicit locking of associated
objects. Obviously this would mean that you would have to explicitly lock
every object you were going to modify, but that seems like a good idea to
me.

I eagerly await this issue finding it's way to the top the ojb-dev teams
to-do list !

Cheers,

Charles
